Fall 2016 Selection from BASF Wine Cellar

Dear customers dear wine lovers “Wine is our best ambassador“ Bismarck, a famous statesman once said in regards to German wine. Through history and throughout the world, wine has played a very important role in diplomatic missions. This is why we at the BASF wine cellar take especially great pleasure in supplying our colleagues and friends around the world with our wines. Our commitment to quality obliges us to select wines of a consistently high standard. We carefully selected wines for our colleagues in the United States and hope you will enjoy the selection in this offer as much as we have enjoyed choosing them. An example of our fantastic new selection is the dry Riesling BASF Exklusiv from the top quality estate of Georg Mosbacher in the renowned wine village Forst on the German Wine Road. You will also find a new Pinot Noir BASF Exklusiv from the region Pfalz from Martin and Georg Fusser. In 2006 the brothers were studying oenology (the study of winemaking) together at the renowned Geisenheim University, when they made the decision to start their own business. One year later they started to vinify their first wines – with success as you will taste in this wine! “Being a good winemaker is not about doing a lot of things. It is about making the right decision at the right time”, says young winemaker Christian Nett. He is one of the rising stars in the Palatinate winegrowing area and so we are happy to present our exclusive red wine “Sehr Nett” - a blend of five powerful red grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Mitos, Cabernet Cubin, Merlot and Lagrein. Translated to English “Sehr Nett” means “Very Nice” – we hope you like this “Nett” wine as much as we do!

Wishing you a lot of enjoyment when tasting the wines!

Bernhard Wolff Head of the BASF Wine Cellar

Pfalz It was indeed the Mediterranean landscape, mild climate and warm, well-drained soils, where figs and lemons flourish, fruit trees abound, and tobacco, chestnuts, walnuts and almonds are harvested, that convinced the Romans to build so many villas in the Pfalz. Each mansion had of course its own winepressing hall. During the reign of Charlemagne over the “Holy Roman Empire” the Pfalz was his wine cellar, supplying not only the emperor’s table wines as well as the coronation wine. As one moves south along the “German Wine Route” through this veritable Garden of Eden, the number of castles increases and the landscape becomes more rugged and diverse. The region has always been considered the vegetable and fruit belt of Germany, which besides the influence of neighboring France, has led to its being the culinary capital of the country. There are various Michelin and Gault Millau rated restaurants and many other exciting surprises waiting for the tourists to discover. The Riesling grape predominates in some parts of the Pfalz, producing very big and powerful wines with flowery overtones. These wines often have a dry finish and are decidedly preferred by local restaurateurs, who serve them to great advantage with modern German cuisine. In other parts of the Pfalz, the clasical Burgundy family of grape varieties has been planted with great success. At the present time many younger wine-growers are focusing on the production of remarkably fruity Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) red wines. Dessert wines with great depth of character and nuances of exotic fruits are also characteristic of the Pfalz.

Are you a fan of Asian food? Then this off-dry Riesling will be a good choice for you! Low levels of alcohol and a hint of residual sugar make this wine a perfect partner for the delicate flavors and spiciness of the Asian cuisine. It is produced by the small family-winery Kimich in the beautiful wine-village of Deidesheim, located at the heart of the Palatinate wine-growing region. It is generally agreed by all wine experts that the vineyards surrounding Deidesheim have some of the best Riesling-terroirs worldwide! This wine shows aromas of ripe fruit like sweet apricot, peach and red apple. You can also smell a hint of honey. In the mouth there is some sweetness, which is nicely balanced by a refreshing acidity.

found in southern Europe, grow on the hills on the edge of the Pfalz Forest. Figs, kiwis, lemons, almonds and apricots all flourish on the eastern slopes, where they are protected from the wind and enjoy many days of sunshine, giving this area an almost Mediterranean feeling. With their know-how, hard work and passion for wine the Diehl family is committed to producing top class wines. Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio) is in essence a white variant of the red grape Pinot Noir. This Grauburgunder’s good palate weight and subtle varietal character makes it an excellent partner for seafood. Discover the aromas of pineapple and dried fruits and try this wine with oysters, shellfish, white fish and salads.

How does it taste when the German grape Riesling is vinified at a Palatinate estate by a Japanese enologist? If you want to experience this intercultural exchange you should try this wine! It comes from the well-known wine-village of Deidesheim, where the winery Josef Biffar was founded in 1734. Since 2013 the estate with its beautiful buildings, has been in the care of Fumiko Tokuoka. Starting her career in wine research at renowned Geisenheim University, she has worked as an enologist for several German wineries for over two decades. At Deidesheim, she not only produces her own wines now, but also brings the culture of her native country to the region by opening the high end Japanese restaurant Fumi on location at the winery. Peach, apricot, citrus – these are the typical Riesling aromas you will find in this elegant wine. Its fruity character, soft residual sugar and fresh acidity make it a perfect partner to all light dishes such as fish or fresh vegetables. By the way: We like this wine so much that we made it part of our “BASF Exklusiv” collection!

“Each wine and each vintage has its own personality, its own character and its own history.” The winery is located in the idyllically Mediterranean wine hamlet called Duttweiler, which is in the heart of the winegrowing region of Pfalz. The winery was founded in 1838 and today the 5th generation of the Nett family is continuing the tradition of wine production. The philosophy of the Nett family is to work with respect to nature. The biggest challenge is to emphasize the potential and individuality of each vineyard in the estate. In their wine cellars, where tradition meets innovation in a harmonious and deliberate way, there is a sense of tranquility. Of providing the wines the luxury of time. Christian Nett was awarded recognition as “the best young winemaker in Germany” in 2015 from the German Agricultural Association (DLG). This Chardonnay presents a nose of ripe yellow fruit aroma with a hint of pineapple at the finish. The palate is characterized by pear and apple very juicy and creamy with a well balanced acidity.

An anecdote says that the famous German statesman Otto von Bismarck thoroughly enjoyed the wine from the Ungeheuer vineyards. The name Ungeheuger translates into English to a very big monster. Bismarck is reported to have said, “This monster tastes monstrously good”. Due to their location in the middle of a slope, the Ungeheuer vineyards are sheltered from winds and thus the grapes can ripen extremely well. The vines here usually flower earlier than those in other vineyard sites.

Rheingau On its northerly flow from Basel, Switzerland to Rotterdam, Netherlands the Rhine is forced by local geology to make a bend westwards for 30 km (18.6 miles), from the city of Wiesbaden to the village of Lorschhausen. By doing so, the river has created the most perfect conditions for the vineyards of the Rheingau, well recognized by the Romans and the Cistercian monks who spread the culture of the vine to this enclave of Riesling viticulture. The best vineyards are on steep terraced slopes facing due south, protected from the north wind by the heavily forested Taunus hills, and from the east and west winds by the bends in the river. The Rhine, which is at its widest here, provides warmth to the vines by reflection during the day and by radiating back its stored warmth at night. Rheingau Rieslings have the customary virtues associated with German wines: fine balance, exquisitely defined fruit flavors, and stimulating acidity. They have more alcohol and fullness than those of the Mosel, but less than those of the Pfalz. Their unique quality is, however, their earthy character and herbaceous flavors. Rheingau wines have been imported into the United States since the days of Thomas Jefferson. During his term as ambassador to France Jefferson had several hundred bottles prepared for his personal cellar and shipped back to Virginia.

It has become the heart of the German wine trade in part thanks to the German Wine Institute that is located in Mainz. It is important to mention the great geographical and climate conditions in this region that enhance the wine growing characteristics.

The ‘Blutsbruder’ wine is a dark ruby colored cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Cubin and the German varietal Dornfelder. It has complex aromas of cherry, cassis, plum, and blackberry, with fine notes of cacao and hints of spiciness. With its smooth tannins and full body, this wine is the perfect drink for a hearty meal with your ‘blood brothers’ – together forever! Grape variety

Mosel The steep valleys of Mosel, Saar and Ruwer, have been planted with vines since Roman times, when legionnaires discovered the warm microclimate and slate soils. The region is known for producing the most quintessentially German wines, with nice acidity and a bouquet of crab apples, wild flowers and a flinty finish. As soon as the fierce, existential battle with the weather is won, the growers in Mosel produce some of the most superlative white wines of Germany: green-gold in color, with a lush peach-like bouquet, a touch of black currants and an almost unlimited potential for aging.

Riesling Kabinett sweet Winery Stefan Müller

$ Product code and price per 750 ml bottle

Taste

27-year-old Stefan Müller is a young talent and has just been awarded the best young winemaker of Saar! Together with his girlfriend Johanna, an educated Sommelière, he is cultivating 9 hectares (22 acres) of vines on the steep slate-slopes of the Saar Valley, producing Riesling-wines of different styles from dry to lusciously sweet. This 2015 Riesling Kabinett is perfectly in-between. It shows a sweetness in the mouth, which is balanced by a mouthwatering acidity. The aromas are fresh and reminiscent of apricot, intense lemon and orange zest and comes together with the typical mineral notes of this region, which might remind you of wet slate-stones. This wine was produced from a single vineyard named Niedermenninger Sonnenberg, which translates to sunny mountain. Perfect food pairings for this Rielsing are fresh Sashimi or spicy dishes, like a hot Thai curry.

Bordeaux Bordeaux is one of the most important wine regions of France and synonymous with fine red wines throughout the world. Located not far from the Atlantic coast, with the largest sand dunes in Europe, the vineyards border the Dordogne and Garonne rivers which join together to form the Gironde. Bordeaux was one of the major French ports until the early part of the 20th century. The reason why all Bordeaux shippers speak English with a British accent originates from the fact that the whole region was under English rule for four centuries. Most of the Bordeaux red wines are a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

The winery sits on the grounds of a 17th century priory and the owners, the Despujol family live on site, amongst some of the splendid original buildings. The wine is produced from Merlot grapes, with a small portion of the wine aged in new oak. A fine red-purple color with aromas of cooked red fruits and is quite spicy as is typical of Merlot, with a hint of cardamom, cloves and cinnamon. Try this wine with roast beef or a standing rib roast, carrots and fennel vegetables and mashed potatoes, or as a unique accompaniment to veggie burgers.

Château Croix du Rival is a product of the friendship between the two charismatic owners, Didier Miqueu and Stephan von Neipperg. The Cuvée 261 from Croix du Rival is the first Bordeaux wine that is bottled exclusively for the BASF Wine Cellar. We are very excited to be able to offer you this exquisite wine, comprised entirely of the Merlot varietal. The grapes were harvested from 25 year old vines growing on parcel 261 in Lussac Saint Emilion. The age of the vines imparts a rich, concentrated flavor to the grapes. The Rival has a strong, fruity bouquet reminiscent of berries, and is rich and smooth on the palate. This wine truly personifies the modern Bordeaux style. Enjoy it with a French classic like Steak Frites (steak and fries).

Burgundy The wines of Burgundy are stars in the international wine world: Names like La Tâche, Romanée-Conti or Corton-Charlemange make the hearts of wine lovers beat faster. The vineyards of this famous region are located in the middle east of France and stretches from Chablis in the north, to Macon in the south. Beaune, famous for its wine auction in November, is the capital. What makes Burgundy so renowned is the perfect elegance you only find in wines of this region. The predominant red grape is Pinot Noir, which makes light bodied, but still well-structured red wines of high finesse. Burgundy’s white grape Chardonnay might be known as a common every day drinking wine in other regions of the world – but the winemakers of Burgundy know the art of giving this grape the most complex and seductive aromas!

Spain In many Spanish bars the guests only pay for the wine. The tapas – wafer-thin slices of ham, olives or a piece of tortilla – are provided free of charge. The quintessential wine pairing with tapas is a powerful vino tinto (a term synonymous with red table wine in Spain). Red wine in Spain it typically bold in flavor and no wonder, since the vines have to put up with extremes: intense sun during the day, cold temperatures at night and little water. The Tempranillo grape copes with this the best and is dominant in Spain, one of Europe’s most important winegrowing areas. It produces a wine that appears to have the intensity of the hot Spanish climate within it and needs time to breathe and unfold its full, saturated opulence.

Grapes have been grown at the Wilhelmshof estate since at least the 1600’s. The current owner Herbert Roth took over the estate in 1975. Unable to find a good sparkling wine on the market, he began a limited production of 52 bottles of Sekt – “One for every Sunday”. As its reputation and popularity grew, so too did demand. Today Wilhelmshof produces more than 40,000 bottles of bubbly each year. The sparkling wine from Wilhelmshof is produced only through classical traditional bottle fermentation. Fermented in the bottle for 15 months with yeast, to produce finer bubbles for more aromatic and expressive taste. A fine elegant sparkling wine made from red Pinot Noir grapes of extraordinary quality. Look for aromas of pear and quince and a creamy texture from the delicate bubbles.
